Telehealth’s Role in the Healthengine Marketplace

Healthengine connects patients with more than 10,000 practices and 40,000 practitioners across Australia, including GPs, dentists, allied health professionals, specialists, and pharmacists.

While most of the 1 million monthly bookings on Healthengine are for in-person consultations, telehealth plays a small but important role – providing patients with timely, convenient access to an Australian-qualified health professional, particularly after hours and on weekends.

Key Facts

~1% of bookings are for on-demand telehealth services.

73% of patients who book telehealth follow up with their regular GP.

69% of patients choose telehealth for convenience or to avoid leaving home.

28% of patients use telehealth when they cannot access timely care from their regular provider.

Why Choose Healthengine Telehealth

Continuity of care

Healthengine prioritises the connection between patients and their regular GP. A patient’s usual care team is displayed prominently, and when booking telehealth, their regular GP is always recommended first.

If their GP is unavailable, patients can see another provider – and soon, they’ll be able to consent to share consult notes back to their GP, ensuring seamless continuity of care.

High-Quality, Accessible Care

From general consults to prescriptions, referrals, and medical certificates, Healthengine partners with Australian-qualified telehealth providers to deliver 24/7 care.

Importantly, Healthengine is not a healthcare provider – we enable connections and rely on trusted partners to deliver safe, high-quality services.

Seamless, Integrated Experience

Patients can book a telehealth appointment, consult via phone or video, pay securely, receive documentation, and share outcomes with their GP.

All within the Healthengine platform. No extra downloads, logins, or technical steps required.

Security and Privacy You Can Trust

Healthengine applies strict security protocols to safeguard patient data. Our telehealth solutions are built on robust, industry-standard practices to ensure both providers and patients feel secure.
